Yes it is a drag that it isn't an option, but suppose that the only way EA could put it in this year would cause laggy connections and random disconnects during games in the elements. Would it really be worth it?

By comparison, did All Pro Football 2K8 and NFL 2K5 allow games in rain and snow during online leagues? I don't think either did.

I guess it helps that I'm not really an online gamer, though.
I don't know about APF 2K8 but NFL 2K5 certainly did. I remember winning a tough game in Philly under a heavy downpour in my league game. But I agree that this is lower on the priority list than lag or disconnects.
